The jar arrived broken; fortunately I could salvage the jam inside and draw the container.

Early morning dream that probably only MSRA folks around my time there would understand
Initially I thought (in the dream) that the session was named so because Qiming Hou was on the author lists of all the papers, but closer examination revealed otherwise.
I usually don’t have time to draw my early morning dreams until later in the evenings, and thus need to consciously retain the visual memory in-between.

California summer rain dream
During the early morning on July 26 2021 I dreamed about raining outside.
I couldn’t figure out exactly how to visualize the dream until I recalled an earlier conceptual depiction of the inner yard right outside the window where I slept, and simply added the raindrops via an experimental motion brush feature of Adobe Fresco.
PS:
I thought about what the shape of the raindrops should be; streamlines for motion blur? According to this article, raindrops are spheres or buns but never teardrops.

Baron of Dune
